The Great Undressing (Live at WFMU)
[Verse 1]
How should I begin a love letter
That has already been rejected?
How can I define my love for you?
The psychosis of adolescence
And the connection of everything with everything with you
A ravishing

[Chorus]
Like capitalism
It works like unrequited love that way
It never rests
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you
And all the people in the world
Are in-between you and I in that way
And in the way of love

[Verse 1]
You must be disgusted
But I need to keep writing because everything else is death
I'm self-sufficient, mad, endlessly producing
I don't need money, I just need your love
Or your approval, anything

[Chorus]
Like capitalism
It works like unrequited love that way
It never rests
Just like I need the love I'm not getting from you
And all the people in the world
Are in-between you and I in that way
And in the way of love
[Verse 2]
Any, any sign is a promise of love, of being exposed
A great ritual undressing taking the place of consummation
I'm here working, making myself
Available for love
Making myself available for love
Because I love you
Ah, I love you
Because I love you
